March has been an exhilarating - and exhausting - month. We've never grinned so much or worried more.
Murder Off the Books is now available nationwide and online:
Barnes & Noble,
Amazon, and
Echelon Press - and our hope is that mystery lovers everywhere will discover a story to "die for," characters they'll love, humor that makes them laugh out loud, and a touch of romance that leaves them wanting more!
If you're interested in purchasing an autographed copy,
let us know.
May we take a moment to brag about the generous praise we received from the
Midwest Book Review. "This is a real whodunit with a fast pace and unique characters. Mac's a retired cop who drives around in everything from an ice cream truck to an exterminator's van. His sidekick Whiskey, a Wolfhound, adds extra dimension to the story and is a real treat for dog lovers. Rachel is a divorced woman with grit and determination... Mac's young associate, JJ, is quirky enough to be appealing, and the chemistry between Mac and Rachel begs for further exploration in future books in this series."
Kevin Tipple at
mouthfullofbullets.com also reviewed
Murder Off the Books. He described it as "... a good cozy with plenty of humor, action and a hint of romance....The characters and everything involved is different and yet the underlying theme that one knows with a wink and a chuckle to the reader that everything will be fine in the end fits perfectly."
Our newsletter subscriber list continues to grow, as does our page on
MySpace. It's been so rewarding to hear from you and the thrill doesn't go away when we hear how much you enjoyed
Murder off The Books. One of our favorite comments from readers is when they confess that we had left enough red herrings and deadends that the ending was a genuine surprise. It
tells us that we've done our job well!
We've got some book signings in our future in New
York, Connecticut, Maryland, and Oklahoma. Please
check below for more details. For those attending

Again, many thanks for all your encouragement and
support. That is the best part of writing
Murder Off the Books.
We would be delighted to visit anywhere there are interested readers. Hear Evelyn discuss: "How to Commit Murder: A Mystery Writer Offers Some Clues." Send us an
e-mail if you'd like to arrange a talk to a local group or organize a book signing in your area. Have Wolfhound does travel!
